free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause  death
or serious physical harm to employees:

employee working on the wet,  slippery,  corrugated
metal decking was exposed to a 15 foot fall hazard.
The employee, not using personal  fall  protection,
was permanently welding metal decking to the joists

rect this hazard are safety harnesses  and  lanyards,  catch  platforms,
